-Somewhere in the Multiverse-
AWA Starship, AWA Academy
"What is the meaning of this?!"
Inside one of the music rooms somewhere in the AWA Academy, we see Kenji Kazama, Max Tennyson, Ryuuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuuin alongside Ragyou Kiryuuin and Nui Harime gathered around in the middle of the room.
"What is going on?" Ryuuko asked in confusion, "What are they doing here?" she added.
"And why are they alive?!" Satsuki demanded, "We're they given a second chance in life at ZeroTopia?" she assumed.
Kenji kept quiet at the current situation but he is very much aware that Ragyou is Ryuuko and Satsuki's biological mother while Nui is their quote on quote 'sister'.
Max rubs the back of his neck, "I knew this is gonna get awkward." he uttered in himself, "As much as I want to do the explaining, I had other things to do." he stated, "So, I'll live things to that guy." he declared while jabbing a thumb at his back before walking off.
"Whatever..." a voice uttered out loud.
As Max left the room, everyone then turns around to see a figure sitting at a table, back hunched with both of his feet on the chair, the figure is seen eating some sweets which includes a pudding and sugar-infested coffee.
The figure is a young man with a tall stature, he had a slim frame and a pale complexion, he had a messy-spiky black hair and he had dark-colored eyes with shadows underneath it. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt, blue pants and is currently barefoot. This is L Lawliet.
"L?" Kenji uttered the figure's name out loud in surprise.
"It's a been a while K2." L greeted with a rather dull tone, "I'm surprised that you're still alive after all this time." he admitted.
Kenji facefaulted, "I've been trained to fight and survive, sweet tooth." he reminded.
"So I've heard." L replied before taking a spoon of a pudding, "Anyway..." he trailed, "... I'm pretty sure those two females are wondering why their mother and 'sister' are alive." he acknowledged, "But let me assure you that these two are not the ones you know nor they've been given a second chance in life at ZeroTopia." he reassured.
"What are you talking about?" Satsuki questioned, "If not then what?" she demanded.
"I believe Miss Ragyou mentioned referring to the two of you as 'daughters of a parallel world'." L pointed out.
Ryuuko's eyes then widen in realization, "Then that means..." she trailed.
"Both Miss Ragyou and Miss Nui came from a parallel world from yours." L confirmed, "Miss Ragyou would you mind explaining to them what happened before you came here." he beckoned.
Ragyou nodded in response, "Very well." she obliged.
Ragyou began to explain that she lives in a parallel Honnou City alongside her husband - Souichirou Kiryuuin, their two daughters - Satsuki and Ryuuko and their adoptive daughter - Nui, and a works as the chairwoman of the Honnouji Academy.
"Adopted?" Ryuuko squawked in shock, "You mean that she's not born as an artificial life fiber?!" she pointed out.
"I don't know what a life fiber is..." Ragyou trailed, "... but Nui is pretty much human." she revealed to which Nui nodded in confirmation, "She lost her eye when she was young and is unable to speak because of apraxia." the white-haired woman explained.
Kenji flinched in response, "Ouch." he yelped, "So, what got the two of you in this situation?" he inquired.
Ragyou then continued on her explanation by sharing that her family used to live in a peaceful life until one rebelious student stumbled upon an alien artifact which gave him immense power while raising an army of unidentified creatures and later started attacking the academy and later the entire city, killing everyone along the way including her husband and their two daughters, leaving Ragyou and Nui by themselves to flee.
And while on the run, Ragyou and Nui found themselves getting captured by Nemeth the Slave Master and is taken to the Slave Fortress where they were sold to a rather corrupt businessman before being rescued by the heroes of the AWA.
"We we're glad to have been rescued and been given the chance to start a new life." Ragyou expressed in joy, "We're still grieving in losing our family but we know that they want us to move on, so the two of us are doing our best to get by in our new life." she stated, "And then I heard that the AWA had a lot of parallel versions of the people we know including my daughters and I was hoping if we could to get know them." she stated, "But then I discovered that the parallel versions of myself and Nui had caused a lot of grief in their world, so I figured that showing ourselves is not a good idea." she admitted.
"What made you change your minds?" Kenji inquired.
"Their father encouraged me." Ragyou answered.
This taken both Satsuki and Ryuuko in shock, "Father did?!" the former exclaimed, "Wait..." she trailed, "... our father knew about them!" she pointed out, "Do the others know about this as well?" she added.
"Mikisugi-san was the first to discover of them and the rest were told later." L answered before taking a sip of his coffee.
"How come no one told us?!" Ryuuko demanded.
L shrugged his shoulders in response, "Like what Chizuru said..." he trailed, "... people loves keeping secrets, so they decided to keep it a secret." he stated.
"That blonde's influence is becoming epidemical." Kenji commented in horror.
"I understand that our presence is making you girls uncomfortable." Ragyou admitted, "We do, after all, share the same faces that caused a lot of grief in your world." she pointed out, "But I am hoping that one day you girls would accept us as a different person from the ones you know." she expressed with a hopeful expression.
"I don't know, I don't know..." Ryuuko uttered with an uncertain expression.
"I do as well." Satsuki said in agreement, "I think I need some time to process this." she admitted.
Ragyou nodded in response, "I understand." she acknowledged, "Please do take your time." she beckoned.
And with that, both Ryuuko and Satsuki left the room while Kenji remained in the music room alongside the others.
Ragyou sighed, "Do you really think that those two will have the heart to accept us?" she asked.
"Like you said..." Kenji trailed, "... give them some time." he reminded, "Those two had grown a lot ever since becoming members of the AWA, so I guarantee that they'll accept the two of you some time down the line." he stated before taking notice of Nui staring at him, "Excuse me?" the orange-haired messiah quipped, "Why is she staring at me?" he asked with a finger pointed at the eyepatch-wearing blonde.
Ragyou then looks at her adopted daughter and noticed the red tints on her cheeks, "Oh my!" the silver-haired woman gasped in surprise, "Nui, don't tell me that you're having a crush on this boy?" she assumed and her adopted daughter looks away in response, "I think that answers my assumption." the woman confirmed in amusement.
Kenji facefaulted, "Aw, shet..." he cursed in annoyance.
"You are gonna get stabbed one day." L commented.
"Syeerap!" Kenji shouted.
-BREAK-
Meanwhile in one hallway somewhere in the pink building of the AWA Academy, we see three figures reprimanding Normal Norman at one corner.
The first figure is a young man with an average height, he had a slim frame and a fair complexion, he had a messy disheveled brown hair and his eyes are closed shut. He wears a blue and white baggy sweater with a high collar and an orange goggles wrapped around his neck, he wears blue baggy sweatpants and blue & grey sneakers. This is Leonardo Watch.
The second figure is a teenage girl with an average height and fair complexion, she had a slender frame and a busty figure, she had a long dark-purple hair tied in a low ponytail by a yellow ribbon with two sharp locks sticking out on each sides, and she had green-colored eyes. She wears a blue knee-length and long-sleeved dress with white buttoned cuffs, a puffy shoulders and a white collar with a red ribboned-brooch underneath a white frilly apron, white knee-high socks and brown shoes. This is Mahoro Andou.
The third figure is a teenage boy with a tall stature, he had a muscular physique and a light-brown complexion, he had a short olive brown hair and he had droopy green-colored eyes. He wears a dark-gray unbuttoned blazer over a white shirt with a green necktie, he wears light-brown trousers and orange sneakers. This is Makoto Tachibana.
"Look, I promise you guys, I did not put her car in that classroom." Norman insisted but only to receive disapproving looks from the three, "You don't believe me." he uttered out loud in disbelief.
"Well, you've been known to 'act out'." Leonardo pointed out.
"Like when?" Norman questioned.
"You drove the lawn mower into the living room!" Mahoro shouted.
"By accident!" Norman argued.
"You filled the swimming pool with lobsters!" Makoto added.
"To make money!" Norman reasoned.
"Should I mention the stink bomb during Ed's sister's birthday?" Leonardo reminded.
"Oh come on!" Norman complaine, "Even you hate Ed's sister!" he pointed out.
"All directions are pointing at you, Norman." Mahoro shared, "So, please stop denying it." she beckoned.
"You need to take responsibility of what you've done." Makoto added.
"I didn't do it!" Norman insisted when all of a sudden a figure ran past them, "Woah!" the beanie-wearing exclaimed in surprise.
The figure is a young boy with a chibi appearance and had a fair complexion, he had a black massive afro that covers his entire head except his face and he had green-colored eyes. He sports a pair of cow horns with tapes on both sides of his hair and he wears a white onesie pajama with black spot-like patterns and a cow tail. This is Lambo.
"Hahahaha!" Lambo laughed rather cheerfully, "You can't catch me!" he mocked.
On cue, Tsunayoshi Sawada and Hayato Gokudera came out running from a corner and ran past Leonardo, Mahoro, Makoto and Norman, and went after Lambo.
"Lambo!" Tsunayoshi called out, "Stop running around!" he admonished.
"Ya damn cow!" Hayato shouted, "Get back here at instant!" he demanded.
"Huh?" Leonardo uttered out loud, "I wonder what happened?" he thought out loud.
"Lambo must have done something stupid again." Mahoro assumed.
"I know Lambo is just a kid..." Makoto acknowledged, "... but I really hope that kid should learn not to mess around at time like this." he expressed in concern.
Norman then adjusted his beanie hat, "I'm taking my leave." he announced before turning around and when he is about to take a step, Leonardo immediately grabbed him by the shoulders.
"You're not going anywhere." Leonardo declared.
And with that, Leonardo, Mahoro and Makoto proceeds to walk away while dragging Norman along with them.
"You're going to take responsibility of what you've done." Mahoro pressured.
"And we're taking you to Hibari-san and give you some proper discpline." Makoto added.
"NOOOOO!" Norman hollered in horror, "Anyone but him!" he pleaded in panic.
As Leonardo, Mahoro and Makoto takes Norman away to a certain destination, Tsunayoshi and Hayato kept on chasing Lambo across the halls.
"Hahahahaha!" Lambo laughed, "Winner-winner, chicken dinner!" he cheered.
"Lambo, please stop running!" Tsunayoshi pleaded.
"You stupid cow!" Hayato insulted, "You're gonna give me an ulcer with all this running!" he complained.
"You can't stop me!" Lambo mocked, "Nanananana~" he teased.
"Will you knock it off?!" a voice demanded.
Then all of a sudden, a figure came in from out of nowhere and kicks Lambo across the face, sending the cow-themed boy flying backwards and crashing down to the floor.
The figure is a male infant with a chibi appearance and had a slightly tanned complexion, he had a black spiky hair with thin curly sideburns and he had black beady eyes. He wears a black business jacket over an red collared shirt with a black necktie, black pants and black leather shoes. He wears a black fedora hat with an orange stripe and a green-colored chameleon residing on it, and wears a yellow-colored pacifier around his neck. This is Reborn.
"Reborn!" Tsunayoshi gasped in surprise.
"Oh, this can't be good." Hayato commented.
"What are you doing messing around at a time of crisis?" Reborn questioned, "You may not be allowed to join missions but that doesn't mean you can cause trouble to others." he stated.
Lambo quickly got off the floor and glared at the infant, "Reborn, that hurts!" he cried out, "I'm gonna beat you here once and for all!" he declared, "CHAAAARRGEEE!" he roared before running towards Reborn.
And Reborn responded by kicking Lambo again hard on the face, sending the cow-themed boy flying backwards and crashing down to the floor, and this time around, Lambo is knocked into sweet unconsciousness.
"Good grief." Reborn uttered in disbelief, "Hey, dumb and dumber!" he called out towards Tsunayoshi and Hayato, "Take Lambo to his room and afterwards proceed to the meeting room." the fedora-wearing infant instructed, "Be there or else." he threatened.
"Y-Yes!" Tsunayoshi squawked in response.
"Y-Yes, sir!" Hayato added.
And with that, Tsunayoshi picks up the unconscious Lambo and alongside Hayato, they quickly ran off while Reborn shook his head is bemusement.
"Even myself is wondering how Lambo is chosen as a Guardian." Reborn admitted.
"Reborn-sensei." a voice called out.
The fedora-wearing infant then turns around to see Shamal and Summer Rose walking towards him, "Good day, ladies." he greeted with a smile.
"Reborn-sensei, I understand that Lambo is a pretty handful child..." Shamal acknowledged with two hands on both hips, "... but do you really need to treat him that way?" she questioned in admonishment.
Reborn smirked in response, "Because it's fun." he answered.
Shamal facepalmed in response, "I forgot who are we talking to." Summer admitted in disbelief.
Meanwhile in the main lobby of the pink building of the AWA Academy, we see Leonardo, Mahoro and Makoto leaving the building through the front door and the camera then pans to the right corner where we see America having a conversation with six figures.
The first figure is a teenage girl with an average height, she had a slim physique and a fair complexion, she had a waist-length blonde hair and she had red-colored eyes.

"Right, girls." America uttered out loud, "All six of you will be in support duty in the seven hours." he declared with everyone grumbling in response, "Don't grumble, it's a good, regular tactic." he reasoned, "Just get on with it." he egged, "You're lucky." he pointed out, "You're not taking part in any tasks that requires going to another world." he pointed out, "The troublemakers already had that covered." he revealed, "Heh, heh, so give them a wide berth." he mused, "Make myself clear, Mashiro?" he singled out, "No shortcuts." he advised.
Mashiro looks at him in confusion, "I don't make shortcuts, Mister America." she dismissed with the others murmuring in disagreement.
America chuckled, "Not much." he mused, "Head towards building yellow and help take out the trash that had been piling up." he ordered towards Mashiro.
Megumi crossed her arms, "I'm really not in a mood to work right now." she lamented, "Especially with that Little Billy the Joe faffing around us." she specified, "I can't stand that annoying scumbag." she admitted, "What a terrible bore he is with his orders, isn't he?" she commented.
Mashiro gave the violinist a small smile, "Then you go help and take the trash out from building yellow." the blonde beckoned with everyone laughing in response.
Megumi then looks at her with an offended expression, "Me?!" she squawked in disbelief, "How can you suggest such a thing?" she demanded while watching Mashiro walks away.
"And less talk from you, Megumi." America admonished, "Or you will find yourself doing more than just taking out the trash." he threatened with everyone laughing in response.
Megumi pouted in response, "That is not funny." she huffed, "I'm a violinist and not a garbage collector." she pointed out with everyone howling in laughter.
America shook his head, "Okay girls, stow it!" he beckoned, "Megumi..." he called out.
"Yes?" Megumi responded.
"Head towards building orange." America ordered, "And don't argue..." he uttered, "... just go." he beckoned.
Megumi sighed in response, "When is this crisis ever coming to an end?" she uttered before walking off.
"That is a question that a lot of people had been uttering for quite some time now." Mikoto commented.
Menma then steps forward, "Mister America, we've just about had enough of Megumi's complaints." she stated, "She's more trouble than she's worth." she pointed out.
Miho chuckled in response, "Yeah." she uttered in agreement, "And you said that wasn't very much, didn't you, Menma?" she mused.
"I said stow it." America repeated, "Menma." she called out, "Go to building red, recruit Jinta Yadomi and Kana Minami, and afterwards all three of you should help sort out some supplies." he instructed.
Menma nodded in response, "Right sir." she complied before walking off.
"Well said, Menma." Miho complimented, "You know that she is a pain in the head." she commented.
"The way that she moves her head about, I'd say she's a pain in the neck!" Menma joked.
"That's right." Mikoto muttered in agreement while Mike and Miho chuckled in amusement.
"Miho, head towards building white." America ordered, "Meet up with Kobato Hasegawa and Kotomi Ichinose, and the three of you will be joining the others in doing some clean up operation." he instructed.
Miho nodded in response, "Alright, yes, good." she complied, "I like Kobato-san and Kotomi-san!" she exclaimed in glee before walking off.
"Mikoto..." America called out, "Head towards building black, Kyousuke Kagami is waiting for you, seems like some problems had been arising there." he explained.
Mikoto nodded in response, "Yes, sir." she complied.
Mikoto then walks off, America then turns to the remaining member of the support team, "Mike?" he called out.
"Yes, sir?" Mike responded.
"Good work in sorting out the problems in the cafeteria of building orange from earlier." America expressed in gratitude.
"That's okay, sir." Mike reassured.
"Meet up with Hideyoshi Kinoshita and Himeko Inaba in building blue, and then head towards the building manager's office." America ordered, "They'll provide you the details of what to do there." he stated.
Mike nodded in response before walking off and at the same time, America made his way out of the lobby while shaking his head and letting out a sigh.
"What a day." America uttered out loud.

Kai uttered the newcomer's names, "... allow me to introduce you to everyone in this group." he beckoned before gesturing a hand at San, "This is San." the beyblader introduced, "She is raised by the wolf gods and she is also very agile, fast, fairly strong and really good at using daggers and spears." he shared.
"I hope you don't mind me and my wolves getting involved with you guys." San expressed with a smile.

Kai then gestured a hand at Martin, "And this is Martin Walker." the beyblader introduced, "He is the former captain of the US Army's Delta Force and is considered to be an one man army with a brutal efficiency." he shared with the soldier nodding in greeting.
"He looks like a seasoned veteran." Seiji thought, "But why does he look like he'd been through hell." he commented.
"By the way..." Shimeji uttered, "... how is your therapy session doing, Mister Walker?" she inquired.
"It's doing good." Martin replied, "As long as I kept attending every therapy sessions, I'll be able to overcome my traumas permanently." he stated.

"This is Nelliel Tu Oderschvank." Kai introduced, "Nel is an arrancar with a level of an espada." he shared, "Nel has a great deal of experience in fighting and has a great deal of martial skill." he added.

"Shimeji and I will be taking part of this group as well." Kai declared.
"Umu, this is a nice party." Shimeji commented.

"Renge-chan~, I'm so happy to see you!"
"I had mixed feelings about this."
"That is something you don't hear much from a seven year old."
In a lounge area somewhere inside building orange of the AWA Academy, we see Hideki Hinata, Kanade Tachibana, Yuri Nakamura and Yuzuru Otonashi alongside Aoba Suzukaze, Hajime Shinoda, Hifumi Takimoto, Kou Yagami, Nene Sakura, Rin Tooyama, Shizuku Hazuki, Umiko Ahagon and Yun Iijima gathered around at one spot.
All the newcomers are now members of the AWA and currently at the moment, they're watching Shizuku cuddle Renge Miyauchi and they couldn't tell if the kid is annoyed or not.
"I must say that this is a really nice place." Yun commented.
"And it's really cool, too." Hajime complimented, "It's not everyday that we get to ride on a starship that travels across space." she stated.
"Hideki and I already had your living space sorted out." Yuri shared, "We'll take you there once Renge is done doing business with her older cousin." she stated.
"Thank you very much." Hifumi expressed in gratitude.
"By the way..." Rin trailed, "... I have yet to see Tachibana-san around." she pointed out.
Shizuku then stopped cuddling Renge before turning to everyone with a serious expression, "I would like to meet him, right now." the bespectacled woman requested, "I want to give him a piece of my mind for keeping this from me." she expressed.
"And would you believe him if he ever told you?" Hideki replied with a raised eyebrow, "Anyway..." he trailed, "Chizuru is still currently doing his part of this mission." he shared, "And from what I recall, he has yet to take a break." he thought about it.
"Is he that hardworking?" Kou assumed.
Yuzuru snorted in response, "Hardly." he replied, "It's more like that he can't catch a break." he described.
"I see..." Aoba uttered in disappointment when all of a sudden a pair of hands reaches to her with one hand covering her mouth, "MMMMPHH!" the twintailed computer progammer muffled loudly before getting pulled away into the darkness.
Nene chuckled in amusement, "Looks like you won't be seeing your crush for a while, huh, Aocchi?" she teased only to receive no response, "Aocchi?" she called out in confusion before turning around to see that her friend is gone, "Huh?" she uttered out loud in surprise, "I guess she went to the bathroom." she assumed.
